It’s just not as exciting as investigating/defending a attack like in the blue rooms

I gotcha

rather than looking at it for learning red team stuff, perhaps try to look at it through the lens of you are learning what sort of tactics the 'bad guys' may use to get around certain defenses etc.

Hey folks, I’m new here and I wanted to know if doing thm then applying for jobs is a good strategy, or do you recommend getting a degree at uni? I see all internships require university enrolment

I saw an article about an old woman that got a Belgian Malinois for example...

Needless to say the Mal became agressive and destructive.

Belgian Malinois need a lot of stimulation, lots of dogs do

Yeah, when I chose my dog I was very much ready to get a full blooded German Shepard or Mal. Unfortunately working full time, studying for college, and learning on these platforms leaves me very little time for a Malinois.

I totally want an australian cattle dog, but we'll see what is available when we are ready to adopt

we had a corgi and she was an amazing dog but she was a mix and still had back problems

I mean, for adoption we mostly have stray dogs here, probably 99% of the time.

Approaching my first year in my new beginnings of an IT career. Despite the usual PIA user stuff, I have been enjoying starting out as Desktop Support Tier 2. I like it much better than my old job because I'm doing my job and no bosses to breath down my neck. Hoping to get CYSA+ certification soon so I can move into cybersecurity and start working my way into DFIR.

wild rose

That's cool bullet. DFIR is fun stuff. Especially phones.

austere mulch
#

I know DFIR is a broad spectrum, and I consider myself a jack-of-all-trades type of person, but once I start getting the work experience, I'm hoping to specialize in something.

wild rose

but CYSA+ is more for SOC analysts type stuff. I don't remember if it has DFIR in it at all.

austere mulch
#

True, that's my starting point to get to DFIR... become a SOC Analyst-type to get general experience... work my way into a specialty going towards DFIR.

wild rose

Well you're starting in cyber, so it's nice to have certs to make you stand out more, but normal IT experience is worth it's weight in gold vs certs.

hey all - i'm in the pentest fundamentals course and i'm pretty sure the answer to this question is "grey box testing" but the platform rejects that answer.

My contract manager says once i get my CYSA+, with the experience I already have and where I'm working now, plus the security clearance I have will make me more than qualified.

chilly veldt
#

good idea

#

I am clocking out soon too, then all issues that might be here is not my problem any longer

#

and then it's time to clean out my bag to make sure that I don't get pulled over by security in the airport, but only get looked at as suspicious

graceful thistle
#

that reminds me that my partner always insists on bringing 500 cables in his carry on so they always pick him out for inspection 😒

graceful thistle
#

why cant you just put it in your suitcase omfg

pale swift
#

They js wanna troll

wild rose
#

That's always fun. But I go through strict security every time I go to the office, so I'm used to it.

chilly veldt
#

at times I have 4g routers too

wild rose
#

lol that's going to look great on X-ray

chilly veldt
#

I have to take out all electronic devices

#

so I usually have 1-2 trays just of laptops and phones kek

pale swift
#

Just cover ur devices with lead

#

They won't be able to see it

wild rose
#

A tray for each laptop too.

chilly veldt

No, he goes against the flow

pale swift
chilly veldt
#

let's see how many get's pulled aside later though, we are 12 people going to this cyber camp

#

😄

#

last time 9 out of 15 got pulled aside for "random drug search"

wild rose
#

I do that with my partner too, she just does not listen at all.

pale swift
#

They took so long we were Abt to miss our flight

wild rose
#

I got pulled out of security coming back to the US from the Philippines to test my hands for gunpowder residue.

chilly veldt
#

they were quick for us, they just hadn't seen so much electronics they thought we were hiding stuff

pale swift
#

What was their thought process

wild rose
#

It was strange and random. I was like the only one who got pulled out too.

chilly veldt
graceful thistle
#

In NZ they will put you in a dark isolation cell for 20+ hours if you accidentally bring a non-native seed on the sole of your shoe

chilly veldt
#

from denmark to estonia, the only ones who got pulled aside there had different nationality than danish, but danish passport

wild rose
#

This was after New Years, so of course I was lighting off fireworks lol.

#

Lucky I always wash my hands well.

chilly veldt
#

my friends have been pulled aside for having illegal hacking equipment on them

#

they where going to the european championship in hacking

wild rose
#

oooh like what? haha

graceful thistle
#

well, illegal is illegal?

chilly veldt
#

hardware hacking tools

buoyant tree
#

ducky?

chilly veldt
#

special tools needed for the competition

chilly veldt
#

had clearance and everything

#

😄

wild rose
#

yeah we were also stopped at security because we need to bring a Celebright kit with us.

graceful thistle
chilly veldt
#

well "illegal" as first sight

wild rose
#

I swear officer I have the paperwork to bring it in legally.

chilly veldt
#

not allowed to bring inside the plane, but they couldn't have it laying in suitcase cause of how fragile it was

#

so they had to get clearance

#

I usually pack my hardware stuff in suitcase, that's where my ifixit kit is laying too

wild rose
#

I remember you couldn't bring a Samsung Note on a plane.

chilly veldt
#

you aren't allowed to bring ifixit kit on the plane

#

cause of screwdrivers

wild rose
#

really wow didn't know that.

chilly veldt
#

my friend had to throw hers out

#

cause it got taken in security

wild rose
#

now that sucks.

buoyant tree
chilly veldt
#

it's pointy devices

wild rose
#

yeah I would have had it in my check bag.

chilly veldt
#

yuup

wild rose
#

my check bags usually get searched too, so I don't bother locking them anymore

#

proxy is back up and running and I'll have the local sys admins test it out for me.

#

Then I can finally log off and go back to work in 8 hrs.

graceful thistle
#

this reminds me of when I worked at the airport and we literally rolled a suitcase full of cash from land to airside by ourselves every day 🙂 kinda crazy.

chilly veldt
#

😄

graceful thistle
#

although I never felt unsafe because of the good looking airport security guys with the big guns

chilly veldt
#

I so hope my bag isn't 23kg

wild rose
#

I think in the States you need to declare anything over $10,000 in cash.

#

so $9,999 is ok, but sus.

graceful thistle
wild rose
#

better to just wire the money.

#

just have to pay the wiring fee.

graceful thistle
#

I dont know why we just didnt keep the stash at the airside in the first place

graceful thistle
#

lmao

wild rose
#

for anytime you need to leave the country with a large amount of cash duh

#

lol I would have been rolling in it

graceful thistle
#

I have paid out large sums of cash during that time

#

it was an interesting job

buoyant tree

#

I swear it was normal and legit

graceful thistle

#

OMG the local sysadmins don't know how to change their proxy settings.

#

Is it different for win 11?

chilly veldt

my setup for going to estonia is following:
2x laptops
2x phones
1x ipad
1x nintendo switch
1x network switch
1x 4g router

How to make sure you can recognise your suitcase

tepid furnace
#

some nice men in suits love to talk to you

chilly veldt
#

I mean, it is actually needed to be put on there, cause it does carry batteries that might take damage at times

molten sky
#

i normally just throw a cheap firearm of some kind in when traveling domestically 🤷‍♂️ keeps them from (legally) opening it without you there and you can use your own locks

#

no issues with recognition when you get it by name

chilly veldt
#

All firearms are illegal here

molten sky
chilly veldt

Only time I can carry is when I am on duty

(and on duty meaning at the mili)

Of course helpdesk knows how to change their proxy settings, but the new sysadmin doesn't...

No problem, a bit of a harsh take but I honestly don’t know why it persists except for brand recognition and Cinnamon

If you’re just getting started, an alt spin of Ubuntu with a different desktop environment such as Xubuntu or Kubuntu/KDE Neon will do you just fine, and a bit more ideal

mhmm silly the things that stick with you

we noted how she was so much better than the lady in Temple of Doom

sinful moon

lol easily

graceful thistle

her character was written to just be hysterical and scream

sinful moon
#

She has agency lol

#

in comparison

graceful thistle
#

yeah Evelyn was much, much cooler

sinful moon
#

Temple of Doom is often mocked, got deserved retrospective praise, but yeah still has some faults like the lack of agency for the “Indy” girl

#

bit better in the other two films, but they’re also films of their era

graceful thistle
#

honestly she annoyed me so much I had a hard time enjoying it on our last watch a few years ago. I remember loving that movie as a kid but had a hard time getting through it

#

as an adult*

sinful moon
#

Yeah she is just kind of annoying and constantly shrieking, I think she was supposed to play a lot more of the comic relief than Shout Round was supposed to. May have been better in his wheel house but idk

#

But with him already being Asian it wouldn’t have hit with western audiences the same, also poor accuracy on things such as the cuisine and etc doesn’t help. The gross out scene with the Monkey Brains is just silly

#

People in India were not happy, understandably so

graceful thistle
#

yeah a lot of these movies induce a lot of internal cringe now 🥲

sinful moon
#

lol yeah “times have changed” vibes

#

It’s just wild for me to have those vibes for a lot of 90s and 00s movies I grew up with as well

#

whew 90s movies are very insensitive to racial and geopolitical vibes lol

#

and the racy humor there is pushed to extents we would not see today lol

#

It’s just funny too because I remember how multicultural and even “post history” the 90s were supposed to be. Cold war is over now, no more history now right? It’s just all us embracing via international commerce right?
